The state-owned Chinese company producing the nation’s first homebuilt single-aisle commercial aircraft expects to start mass production of the plane after 2021 as it seeks to chase markets in Asia and Africa.
The C919 jet, built by Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China Ltd., will take about three to four years to get certification for airworthiness from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Lu Zheng, deputy general manager of sales at the company known as Comac, said in an interview at the Singapore Airshow on Tuesday.
